depends on how much RAM the box has
remind that every connection needs some MB for buffers

i can not image why 1000 connections are needed in a real world application
throw away the aüülication if it does not support connection-pooling in 2011

even if you have enough memory why will you throw it away for a
unusual connection count instead use the RAm for innodb-buffer-pool,
query-cache, key-buffers?
